In the Sili Imperial Palace, the traitor Dong was running amok, recruiting party members and eradicating dissident elements in the court. His atrocities were too numerous to describe!
The people of Luoyang were complaining. They had been suffering from the disaster for a long time. They spontaneously held demonstrations in the streets and lanes. At first, there were only a few hundred people. After that, it became more and more violent. Tens of thousands of people gathered in Dongshi, calling Dong Zhuo in the palace from a distance, asking him for help.
statement.
Since the Xiliang Iron Cavalry entered the capital, the people have never had a peaceful life. Chaos and killings occurred frequently. The people's petitions were in vain and they were forced to swallow their anger!
The people of Luoyang have been resentful for a long time. It happened that Yuan Shu of Yuzhou at that time established the "Underworld" organization. After Hai Donglai was promoted to the post of magistrate, Yuan Shu arranged for him to go to Sili secretly, and then secretly mobilized the emotions of the people in the city, hoping to use public opinion.
The pressure made Dong Zhuo consciously restrain himself, and try his best to obtain some opportunities for officials in the DPRK and Central China to transmit information to the outside world.
It is precisely because of Hai Donglai's secret operations that tens of thousands of people gather, march, and demonstrate in Luoyang City today!
I thought that the tens of thousands of people marching and demonstrating would make the Dong thieves calm down a little bit, but I didn't expect that this guy didn't follow the routine and actually sent his Xiliang cavalry directly to the east city of the city to encircle and suppress the people who participated in the demonstration.
Five thousand well-equipped Xiliang cavalry rode like the wind, rampaged through the wide area of Dongshi City, slaughtering unarmed people wantonly, even the old, weak, women and children were not spared...
The massacre lasted for a whole day. Rivers of blood flowed in the East City, and corpses of people who died tragically were everywhere. The corpses lay scattered in pools of blood. The Xiliang soldiers did not allow others to collect the corpses, so they just let the corpses fall in the East City.
Use this as a warning to others!
Little did they know that public opinion could not be suppressed, and Dong's brutal dictatorship indirectly accelerated the gathering of the coalition forces.
At this moment, it was the hot summer season. Sun Jian from Jiangdong Province had already led his army to Runan County, Yuzhou to join forces with Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu was issuing orders unhurriedly, calling back all the senior generals who were stationed outside. He had no time to spare anyway.
Then, Meng Gong and Qi Jiguang who were in Yangzhou also returned one after another.
The coalition army had a large base, and the amount of food and grass consumed every day was astronomical. Yuan Shu did not want to be limited by people in these places, so he summoned his military advisers and asked them to discuss the specific amount of materials needed for this battle.
The military advisor group was in full swing discussing the matter of combat supplies. At the same time, Yuan Shu sent Xue Rengui, Meng Gong, Lian Po, Qi Jiguang, Wen Tianxiang, Shi Dakai, Xin Qiji, Yuan Chonghuan, Zhang Xun, Xu Yuan, Wang Meng, Xin Wenli, to protect him.
Er, Lan Li, Ju Wuba, Yang Dayan, General, Tian Yunpeng, Green Lion, White Elephant, Xiongkuohai, Nian Deli, Jia Fu, Pei Yuanqing, Luo Shixin, Ma Jinhua, Bihan, Bishu, Bichen, Gao Jineng,
Yang Youji, Liang Shitai...all these high-level generals gathered in their own tents and prepared to arrange specific combat tasks for them!
First of all, let me mention that Yuan Shu's strategic guideline is mainly to fight on two fronts in the north and south, with the subversion of Dong as the secondary purpose, and the overthrow and destruction of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom as the main purpose. Therefore, Yuan Shu will only send a part of his men to participate in the coalition assembly this time.
, and most of the rest, except for the generals who stayed in Yuzhou, will go south to Kuaiji County, ready to receive news from Li Gexiao anytime and anywhere.
Once the news comes back from Li Gexiao, the unification of Yangzhou will be inevitable!
Yangzhou has jurisdiction over six counties and 92 counties: Jiujiang, Danyang, Lujiang, Kuaiji, Wujun, and Yuzhang. Among them, Sun Jian's forces occupy most of Lujiang County in the west of Yangzhou and bordering Jingzhou Yang Jian's forces, while the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom mainly occupies the central and southern parts of Yangzhou
The area includes most of Jiujiang County, half of Danyang County and most of Yuzhang County.
As for the remaining Wu and Kuaiji counties, Yuan Shu took them into his pocket. Even during the previous battle to annihilate Fangla in the Southern Kingdom, Yuan Shu's army conquered the South and captured most of Danyang County and a small part of Jiujiang County.
The Zhejiang River is a natural barrier, and it is divided into two rivers with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!
Yangzhou's water system is criss-crossed, and the rivers are widespread. Boating is the main mode of travel. If Yuan Shu wants to completely unify the entire Yangzhou, he must have a general who is good at water warfare to lead the general attack across the river against the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom forces!
"System, I want to summon a general who is good at water warfare. Summoning him twice will trigger the balance mechanism, right?"
"Summoning two more times will trigger the balance mechanism. The current system enables the summoning function for the host to summon generals who are good at water warfare. Please wait..."
The system mechanical sound sounded, followed by the continuous flashing of the cursor on the blue panel, the system database was opened, and the generals who were good at water warfare in various dynasties in history were selected. After a cup of tea, the system finally
Five water warfare generals were selected as candidates and provided to Yuan Shu for selection!
"Ding! Summon generals who are good at water warfare. The specific list of candidates is as follows:
Yu Tongyuan, a famous general in the early Ming Dynasty, had five-dimensional attributes: 98 force value, 87 commander value, 78 intelligence value, 68 political value, and 92 charm value.
The founding general of the Ming Dynasty - Yu Tonghai, five-dimensional attributes: 97 force value, 91 commander value, 79 intelligence value, 72 political value, 94 charm value
Sea Thunder——Shi Lang, five-dimensional attributes: 94 force value, 94 commander value, 87 intelligence value, 78 political value, 83 charm value
King of the Sea - Zheng Zhilong, five-dimensional attributes: 93 force value, 94 commander value, 87 intelligence value, 63 political value, 87 charm value
The famous founding general of the Ming Dynasty - Fu Youde, five-dimensional attributes: force value 104, command value 97, intelligence value 87, political value 78, charm value 96
Please also ask the host to exclude two of the five candidates, and the system will randomly select among the remaining three candidates!"
Yuan Shu looked at the list of five candidates given by the system. He first retained the great god Fu Youde, and then selected among the four brothers Yu Tonghai, Shi Lang and Zheng Zhilong!
He originally wanted to eliminate Zheng Zhilong, but Yuan Shu thought that he was the father of the famous general Zheng Chenggong. If the system summoned Zheng Zhilong, there would be a high probability that it would bring Zheng Chenggong and a large group of people from the Zheng Group.
Buy one get two free, or even buy one get two free, who doesn’t love this deal? Therefore, Yuan Shu also retained Zheng Zhilong and chose among the remaining three.
In the end, Yuan Shu eliminated Shi Lang and Yu Tonghai, and let the system start randomly selecting among the three selected!
(The reason why Yuan Shu eliminated Shi Lang was mainly because of the relationship between Yu Tonghai and the two brothers. Assuming that the system summons one of the two brothers into the world, there is a high probability that the other will be brought into the world together. There is a high probability that the other will be brought into the world.

Among the five candidates, the display boards of Shi Lang and Yu Tongyuan became dim, and the system cursor was seen flashing rapidly among the remaining three!
